[R-390] What happened to all the NOS parts?

[Llgpt at aol.com]

Well, there are a lot of people with a lot of R-390, R-390A's and spare  
modules, parts etc. gathering dust, out there. I know of many with 12-20  
receivers and spare modules etc. 
 
My thoughts are that they will not increase much in value, the generation  
coming up now couldn't care less about "our" technology. Those who have lots of  
it should consider giving their families a break and sell while the selling 
is  good.
 
I'm not looking or trying to sell, so I have no stake in my opinion.

With  around 60,000 R-390s and R-390As having been manufactured, the 
government had  to have tons of NOS parts setting in their warehouses. Were these 
parts sold  for scrap, trashed or still in strorage (hopefully) somewhere?
